There are many magnetic alloys. There three magnetic substances that you will find on the Periodic Table of elements. These are iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co). Iron is the most highly magnetic material. Magnetic alloys are alloys consisting one or more of these metals. Most magnetic alloys are made to make extra powerful magnets. Steel and alnico are two of the most important alloys. Alnico is made up of iron, nickel, cobalt, and aluminum. Steel is made up of iron and carbon. Another magnetic alloy is permalloy, a mixture of iron and nickel.
